EP 60: The Weekly Mile | Victim Mindset vs Growth Mindset

On this episode of The Take A Step Podcast, Josh dives into The Weekly Mile edition: “Victim Mindset vs. Growth Mindset.”

Too often, we default to blaming others when life doesn’t go our way. It feels easier to point the finger—it lifts the weight of responsibility off our shoulders. But here’s the problem: if it’s always someone else’s fault, then there’s nothing we can do to change, improve, or grow. That’s the trap of the victim mindset.

In contrast, those who embrace a growth mindset take full ownership of their lives. The wins and the losses, the victories and the failures—it’s all on them. By claiming responsibility, they create the opportunity to get better, to learn, and to keep moving forward.

Josh breaks down how shifting from victim to growth mindset can radically change your trajectory, both in faith and in everyday life. He challenges listeners to stop excusing their setbacks and instead step into ownership—the key to real growth and purpose.

If you’re ready to reject complacency, take responsibility, and grow into the person God is calling you to be, this episode is for you.
